All castles in our world has been conquered.

Life is no longer more than living in Platonic caves.

There are two Gods. First is the one who created us and the second was created by us.

There is a big war within us. Will you obey to fake idols or revolt?

When will you stand up, you dead soul?

When will you find the way out?

When will you really see something is wrong?

Nowadays I want to write a tragedy more emotional than Racine’s…

I want to put a comedy on scene which is funnier than Chekhov’s..

Should I be indebted a lot, to be able to be as good as Dostoyevski?

Should I leave all my belongings behind to feel as pure as Tolstoy?

Should I love another’s woman to be able to write as great as Balzac?

WTF! Who cares actually? These all dirty clothes should be buried to the deepest part of magma!

I promised myself, I will never ask again who I am! What a curse, this question is.

I think people never managed to answer to this question just because they were getting changed any second. So there is no answer that will satisfy us in response of this question.

I also promised myself, never judge again. Whoever or whatever I judged, I experienced it in my life. In most cases, I failed. I failed more drastically than the ones that I had judged.

One should know where to stop. Evidently, one should know it. Otherwise the life will be full of accidents. If you look the reasons of all wars in history or present, you will see that it is because one party doesn’t know where to stop. Overstepping the boundaries. Damned humankind doesn’t know where to stop.

Absurdity is a source of life indeed. Although we don’t know how to use it, we still curse it. Actually, we don’t know what absurdity is. Most of the time we mix it with comedy. But in reality, absurdity is more tragedy than comedy. But it is obvious that the big portion of people don’t understand it because we need an analytic mind to be able to catch it.
